Kittens, Parties, and Birthdays!

A few days ago I was working in our office, which doubles as my craft room, and one of my kittens found the smallest shoe box he could find to cuddle up in. He was so cute all curled up in the box that I carried him down the hall and set him, box and all, on the couch in the living room.

He stayed there long enough for me to take 7 or 8 pictures. Here he is looking at me like a crazy women for snapping my little green camera at him from every angle.

This weekend, we had two parties on Saturday. One was my Pampered Chef grand opening, and the other was an old-fashioned beer fest. We drank beer out of the can, played beer pong and drinking card games and had a good time. It was a small party, which is sometimes better when
alcohol is involved.

I didn't take any pictures that day. I was just too busy to think about it. It's sad, because the spread I made, especially for the day-time party was quite impressive: roast-beef roll ups, antipasto platter, garden veggie pizza, elegant fondue dip, and cran-rasp fizz. We also had iced tea, candy and nuts.

Yesterday night I ran to the grocery and picked up a few peaches. Alex thought he could fit an entire one in his mouth. Luckily I had cut them into slices, which did fit into his mouth. So he snapped this picture to show off his eating abilities.

Tomorrow is his birthday, and today was really stressful for me, so I got to work baking some brownies out of my Nestle Cook Book. They are triple chocolate lovers brownies with caramel and nuts. I can't wait to dig in!
